I couldn't see your images very clearly, but it seems that the theme is not even loading properly on your rockbox build. Which build are you using? The theme Flamebox requires a patch not included in the official build (BMP resize).
Also, once that specific theme is working on your rockbox build (patched), you need to follow the album art guidelines for it to be displayed properly: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/AlbumArt (just bear in mind that the BMP resize patch adds the resizing feature, so for example you wouldn't necessarily need to use 100x100 bmp images; however, following all the indicated album art guidelines allows you to use other themes that run under the official build, or themes that simply don't require the resizing patch)
It would probably be better for you to use the official build first and get familiar with it, using, of course, themes that work under the official build, and after that, start thinking about using patches.

hi
i downloaded a daily view i think its r6586, also every theme that supports album artwork looks the same as flamebox.

question, all my ipod songs have the image saved on the id3 tag of the mp3, is rockbox capable of reading them from tthere, also i will change the format from jpg to bmp since all the album artwor its on jpg, does every theme has its own patch or 1 patch works for every theme that supports album artwork.

thank you very much for your help.

GREETINGS ;D

hi
how i install patches, ive been lookin around and i couldnt find a tutorial,.
do you know how to install them.
also if i install a lot of patches, is my ipod going to brick?

wich patch do i need for the flamebox theme?

GREETINGS ;D

I'm sure you are only trying themes that require patches that are not included in the current build. There are a lot of themes out there that support album art with the current build, so try out those first. And yes, you need to have your album arts in bmp files as specified in the link that hhannah posted.

Installing patches is not an easy task.. you have to get the source code, and compile your own build; if you must, do some search in the wiki; there is a link that shows how to do it.
